Science in BettIng.

There is. SO says Dave Pulsifer, who ought to know. a scientific way of betting on horse races. Like all other scientific methods, however. it Is hard to attain and not easy to keen up. HOrses when they start in at the beginning Of the season belong, according 10 their on merits to different classes. There are the 2.20 horses, and the 2:3O and ths 2 4C and the minute horses among the trotters. and among the runners there IS the same sort of difference. BOokmakers must have their heads filled with horses, with weights and besides with a great lot of data regarding their performances and their COZ dition. The outsider. because hOrse IS the winner of one race, usually makes faSorite of him for the next The bookmaker doesnt always do that. And especially is it true that a horse which wins several races hand running will become a prime favorite with the outsiders, while boOkInakers and profes- sionals for this very same reason begin 10 put their money up against him. As a rule, the winning Of one race by runCer makes the winning of a second difficult and, as races are run. the chances of success next time decrease in a certain proportion. This Is because of the addition of weight The racer finally overwoighs himself by his many successes and he then loses.
 On the other hand, owners of slower horses trail along from circuit to circuit losing races: their runners having weight taken of each time, until at some course or other the horse runs light, is in first class form. his owner backs him to win and win he does. The public does not keep these things in mind. The pool seller and book maker never forcets them They are his stock m traie There arc of course a great many other influences beside that of weight. Hard running and the winning by cloSc scratches pulls the best racer down
 The condition of the horse must be borne as carefully in mind as the weight.
 If a horseman will familiarize himself with all these things,s says Dave Pulsifer, ''he can bet on the horse races and win money. but it will take his time He can't bet on horse races and win money and do much else besides Chicago Mail.
